Although wine has been produced for several thousands of years, the ancient beverage has remained popular and even more affordable in modern times. Among all wine making regions, Bordeaux, France is probably one of the most prestigious wine areas in history. Since hundreds of wines are produced from Bordeaux each year, humans are not likely to be a...

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are an emerging technology that has much potential development ahead of it. VANETs seek to connect devices contained within vehicles together to create services that are particularly relevant to a vehicular environment. They attempt to do so without relying on infrastructure devices to assist in the process of net...

Co-modality is a concept based on a unified network system which will ensure the effective and sustainable utilization of all transportation modes. However, the application of co-modality as a measure of evaluating public transit system performance is recent and has been predominantly used in freight transport systems. This study proposes a novel a...

Classifying wine according to their grade, price, and region of origin is a multi-label and multi-target problem in wine-informatics. Using wine reviews as the attributes, we compare several different multi-label/multitarget methods to the single-label method where each label is treated independently. We explore both single-label and multi-label ap...

... The purpose of this system is to address the varied needs of many businesses and departments, including but not limited to hospitals, factories, educational institutions, and the hospitality industry. thereby facilitating enhanced mobility and unrestricted physical motion (5). In addition, the widespread adoption of intelligent devices and the internet of things (IoT) has expedited the incorporation of WBANs into healthcare infrastructures. ...
... For instance, YOLOv3 [30,36,56], Faster R-CNN [16,18,39,57], and SSD [15,51,54] have been used to detect traffic signs in images and videos. In addition, some studies have explored the use of deep learning algorithms such as CNN [7,31,43,48] and LSTM [3,10,12] for traffic sign detection. Other studies have focused on feature extraction and selection methods [4,13,24] to improve the accuracy of traffic sign detection. ...

... First of all, since neural networks work very well in the data set with all attributes, many other advanced neural networks, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) [33], recurrent neural networks (RNN) [26], and long short-term memory networks (LSTM) [34], as well as deep learning [35], can be implemented and tested in similar settings. Next, since the new Computational Wine Wheel provides a stronger capability in processing wine reviews, the positive impact may also extend to all existing wineinformatics data mining research, such as research using association rules [7], clustering [9], granular computing [36], etc. Unlike this paper, which mainly focuses on classification, different data mining techniques and algorithms should be able to fine-tune the parameters and retrieve useful domain knowledge. ...
